The hide option modifies the partition tables on the drive - changing the partition *type* from one that the system might read, to a hidden type. Perhaps your other OS didn't like the type? I'm not sure of the value of hiding a partition. It shouldn't be necessary for booting from another drive. You should just be able to select the drive to boot from. If you find some things insist that they must be on drive 0 when they're on drive 1, there's the map option to pretend they're plugged in the other way around. map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) (If I recall correctly... Consult the grub info file to be sure.)
